README summary

Hopenet # **Hopenet** is an accurate and easy to use head pose estimation network. Models have been trained on the 300W-LP dataset and have been tested on real data with good qualitative performance. For details about the method and quantitative results please check the CVPR Workshop paper. **new** GoT trailer example video **new** Conan-Cruise-Car example video To use please install PyTorch and OpenCV (for video) - I believe that's all you need apart from usual libraries such as numpy

. You need a GPU to run Hopenet (for now). To test on a video using dlib face detections (center of head will be jumpy): To test on a video using your own face detections (we recommend using dockerface, center of head will be smoother): Face bounding box annotations should be in Dockerface format (n_frame x_min y_min x_max y_max confidence).

To use please install PyTorch and OpenCV (for video) - I believe that's all you need apart from usual libraries such as numpy. You need a GPU to run Hopenet (for now).

To test on a video using dlib face detections (center of head will be jumpy):

python code/test_on_video_dlib.py --snapshot PATH_OF_SNAPSHOT --face_model PATH_OF_DLIB_MODEL --video PATH_OF_VIDEO --output_string STRING_TO_APPEND_TO_OUTPUT --n_frames N_OF_FRAMES_TO_PROCESS --fps FPS_OF_SOURCE_VIDEO

To test on a video using your own face detections (we recommend using dockerface, center of head will be smoother):

python code/test_on_video_dockerface.py --snapshot PATH_OF_SNAPSHOT --video PATH_OF_VIDEO --bboxes FACE_BOUNDING_BOX_ANNOTATIONS --output_string STRING_TO_APPEND_TO_OUTPUT --n_frames N_OF_FRAMES_TO_PROCESS --fps FPS_OF_SOURCE_VIDEO

Face bounding box annotations should be in Dockerface format (n_frame x_min y_min x_max y_max confidence).
